Getting organized doesn’t have to mean spending a fortune on storage bins and baskets. Dollar Tree has plenty of affordable finds that can help you clear clutter from drawers, cabinets, closets, and countertops. Here are 8 storage solutions worth checking out on your next trip.
Over-the-Door Hooks
The back of a door is easy to overlook when you’re running out of places to put things. An over-the-door hook can give towels, robes, bags, or frequently worn accessories a home without requiring you to drill into the wall.
Drawer Organizers
A drawer full of loose utensils or office supplies can become frustrating when you have to dig around for one small thing. Arrange a few inexpensive organizers inside to separate items by type, but measure the drawer before shopping so you know they’ll fit.
Storage Baskets
Wire and plastic baskets are an easy way to gather loose items without spending much on storage. Use wire baskets for things you want to keep visible, like dish towels or mail, and plastic baskets to organize scarves, accessories, or extra supplies inside closets and cabinets.
Plastic Storage Trays
Small items have a way of spreading across bathroom counters, desks, and dresser tops when they don’t have a designated spot. A divided plastic tray can keep hair ties, makeup, paper clips, and other odds and ends together so you’re not searching for them every morning.
Glass Storage Jars
Glass jars can make a crowded pantry or craft shelf easier to navigate by giving small items a home. Use them for dry goods if they’re labeled food-safe, or fill them with buttons, beads, and other supplies you want to see at a glance.
Small-Item Organizers
Plastic trays and drawer organizers can keep little things like hair ties, makeup, kitchen utensils, and office supplies from getting lost in a cluttered drawer. Choose a few that fit your space and use them to give each group of items its own spot.
Shelf Risers
A shelf riser creates another level of storage inside a cabinet without requiring you to install an extra shelf. It can help separate plates from bowls or make better use of the space above shorter pantry items, as long as you stay within its weight limit.
Vacuum Storage Bags
Bulky seasonal clothes and spare blankets can take up a surprising amount of closet space when you’re not using them. Vacuum storage bags may help reduce their bulk, but avoid using them for items that need to retain their loft, such as down-filled bedding.
